Five fitness flaws by females
Things that you do to keep fit are not always healthy; here are some fitness flaws even smartest of the women make.
Assume salads are good always
Most of the fast-food outlets and cafes serve salads with dressings high in salt, almost equivalent to a packet of crisps. To avoid this excess salt, ask for the dressing on the side. Use fork to dip in the dressing before eating the salad. This way you can get the taste even with few calories. Browse online before you visit a fast-food restaurant.
Skip the breakfast
Skipping breakfast deprives you of vitamins and minerals which you cannot make up for by eating later. Skipping breakfast makes you excessively hungry and overeating later ultimately makes you fatter. Stock up your kitchen with fresh fruits, dried fruit and nuts, or healthy cereals like oats. This will provide you good nutrition and keep you slim.
Ban the fat and always opt for low-fat food
Mostly 'low-fat' foods contain added sugar and salt to give it an added taste. The high sugar in these low fat foods triggers an insulin release that makes blood sugar drop so you feel hungry. Instead of banning fat food altogether, opt to eat full-fat foods in smaller amount. These will take longer time to digest and help feel fuller for longer time.
Avoid dairy
Dairy products are chief source of calcium which is most essential for bone health in women. If body does not get sufficient calcium from food, body robs it from bones thus causing osteoporosis in later life. Add dairy produce to daily diet to get regular supply of calcium.
Do not exercise
Most of the women do not exercise for the excuse that they already get overexerted and overworked. Remember, overwork does not count as exercise. It does not do any good to the body. It can be rather harmful to the body and mind in the long run. Take out 30 minutes from a busy schedule to exercise. Even a brisk walk for half an hour can do wonders.
